An opponent is entitled to the same regard for his principles as we would expect others to have for ours. Non-violence demands that we should see every opportunity to win over opponents.

What senseless violence does is to prolong the lease of life of the British or foreign rule.

A person who is worried about the outcome of his work does not see his goal; he sees only his opposition and the obstacles before him.

Nonviolent action means mobilization of world opinion in our favour.

To one who reads the spirit of the Gita, it teaches the secret of nonviolence, the secret of realizing self through the physical body.

I may not unnerve myself while I can struggle against evil.

Unless you go on discovering new applications of the law of nonviolence, you do not profit by it.
